DURHAM — More than 200 exhibitors will showcase their expertise, knowledge and products at the 19th annual Seacoast Home & Garden Show on Saturday and Sunday, March 23–24.

The 2013 show features:

-- New Garden Marketplace, which brings the expertise of local nurseries—including Churchill’s Garden Center in Exeter, Studley’s Flower Gardens in Rochester and Pawtuckaway Nursery in Barrington—to home show attendees.

-- Meet the Chefs cooking series presented in partnership with Taste of the Seacoast, featuring chefs Brandon Blethen of Robert’s Maine Grill, Kevin Fitzgibbon of Michelle’s on Market Square, John McCallion of The Meat House, David Masotta of Three Chimneys Inn, Evan Hennessey of Stages at One Washington as well as chef and cookbook author Kathy Gunst.

-- Seminar Series, with workshops such as “Elements of Kitchen Design” by B&G Cabinets, “Creating Outdoor Rooms” by Green Monster Landscapes and “What to Look for When Hiring a Contractor” by Mac’s Home Improvements.

“Spring is such a great time to highlight home products,” says Carrie Barron, a New England Expos show producer. “After a long winter, it’s nice to freshen up your living space with home and yard improvement projects.”

This year, the show is presented by New England Expos, a New England-based company with offices in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. (New England Expos is the result of the evolution of the former Dickson & McGonigle company name, which was retired in 2012.) “Our shows are designed for consumers in all stages of building, remodeling, landscaping and decorating their homes,” says Beth Alles, a New England Expos show producer.

“As a premier consumer trade show in the Northeast, the Seacoast home show brings a keen focus on home-related trends, through the eyes of highly skilled professionals,” Alles says. “We pride ourselves in exceeding the needs of today’s consumers by offering the ability to imagine, create and design in one place.”
